Modern has nothing to do with it. Thankfully cattle farms are still around and a way of life.
So let them eat their veggies. Probably the same people who wear a helmet while they ride a bicycle. If we give them enough head they'll swear an ear of corn has feelings.
I grew up bloody like you’re talking about. Quail, dove, turkey, deer, squirrel, lots of fish. One day I just walked away. Except for the fishing. If I get on a good bed it’s a good day. If I just sit and listen to the water lap all day in the quiet, it’s a good day.
Nowadays I’m the guy stopping traffic to pick up the turtle in the middle of the road and moving it to the road side ditch.

According to news reports, ingesting/smoking bath salts is like taking the worst of all the effects of crack cocaine, meth, Ecstacy, PCP ("green"), and LCD combined(!). ER's are apparently seeing a lot of problems associated with its use among youths. That's scary.

They could probably use that to make a pretty powerful anti-drug advertisement.. "Don't do this stuff, or you'll eat your friend's face off"
Though I guess it's useful if you're wanting to go human hunting...............

Hunting game animals for food has been a means to supply a person and his family with meat throughout history. In modern times there is no need for a person to learn hunting skills to kill his own meat with a grocery story on every corner. People are so disconnected with the the process that meat goes through to get in those neat wrapped packages at the grocery store. A person that butches his own meat would probably take greater care with the animal then what goes on in animal slaughter houses, but it's easy to turn a blind eye to that. Either way an animals life is given to supply us with the animal protein we need.
Wild game remains one of the few sources of organic meat that exists today, also you know what has been done to what you're eating. My husband is an ardent hunter and has been since he was a boy. I think growing up around people who hunt and preparing there on meat (domestic or game), helps you accept the practice. But hunting is not the easy or cheap way to get meat, it is a skill and requires a lot of time and effort to do it right and I have no objection to it done that way.
mercy, peace and love
